hire smart people to run the thing, tell them my vision of the team, and then let them run it and i'd just sit back and eat cheetos and wipe the orange crap left on my fingers on nicole's dog.

it will either be someone in their 30s without head coaching experience desperate for a chance to prove himself anywhere, or some old guy with tons of HC experience looking for a good place to retire.

don't forget WW1. that was them, too.

sorry, munich.

Before sending that note... If I sent you a note asking you a question, would you answer it? yes [ ] no [ ] That's where we're at.

Oof

just take them both.

Pair him up with Dan Quinn. The two are used to working with each other already. The more I ponder, the more I think our old mentality/identity depended on "punch you in the face" football and defensive coaches are better at fostering that kind of environment. Plus the guy runs a fierce D. Then pair him up with Darrell Bevell at OC who could work with Bryce next year and see what he would be like with a good coach.

this year on so many levels for the panthers...

my preference

i think the bar isn't particularly high for being better than morgan, but if they can't get anyone else...then dan is the man.

if we can't get anyone better, sure.

i don't expect next year for us to be anywhere near good. we'll be at the bottom of the worst division in the NFL. i don't expect us to be good. i don't expect us to be remotely interesting next year. hopefully if we suck, it will be enough to earn the #1 pick in the '25 draft and we don't trade any picks away. i don't want us to try and finagle our way to getting a better team next year through trades. only trading we should be doing is whatever we can to increase the number of picks in the '25 draft. next year is going to suck anyways, so why not use that to stockpile picks and cap space? new coach needs to see next year as a dead year and the goal for that coaching staff should be just to get through the year and see who we want to keep around.

i do know that whoever it is, i'm not going to get too excited or pissed off. at this point it/they (the panthers) just aren't worth it.

it's all just football, right?

i guess i should have clarified... does he have someONE advising him. someone who knows their poo.

i'm just along for the ride at this point for GM and HC. i really have no bandwagon i'm jumping on. i've got no dog in this fight. whatever happens, happens.

the thing about the search firm is...who is putting in the parameters for what we're looking for at HC and GM? Does tepper still have in his head what he wants and sticking to his guns or does he have someone advising him on what he should be looking for?

He doesn't need to be doing anything until he hires a vp of football operations or something like that.

I wish him nothing but the best....as long as it's somewhere else.

not buying it, but even it's true grown men shouldn't act like that. you don't respond to punks by being a punk.

1) he should be the team's top priority...finding a trade partner that will give us at least one 1st rounder. 2) if it will help sell him, then yes...i'll call him a top edge rusher in the league and i'll keep a straight face doing it. i'm that good.
